This isn't a particularly good photograph, but I took it as a challenge to take in-focus, well-framed photographs of Emirati women without getting arrested and this is one of the best I could manage (note I was looking at a camel in another direction while this was taken).

The disused tracks at Prince's Wharf in Auckland.
The wharf today is host to visiting cruise ships. The warehouses that used to lie on this wharf were converted to the Auckland Hilton and a residential block.

Her Majesty's New Zealand Ship Te Mana. (Te is 'New Zealandish' for 'The' and 'Mana' is 'status' or 'authority'. For two days the upper decks and bridge were open to the public. On the final day of the Anniversay Weekend, (Anniversary Day) the ship was host to important dignitaries who wished to get the best seat on the water for the day's races. Here it is being tugged by Waka Kume and Waipapa away from Prince's Wharf.

Some areas of the hotel can't be photographed. I was asked to leave from this location by a man in an expensive suit and a curly wire leading up to his ear, who seemed to appear as if from nowhere.

I was questioned by about seven cops soon after I took this photo. I had been taking long exposure shots for about an hour or so and my dodgy appearance obviously aroused suspicion.

P.S. Taking photographs of women in Sharjah, or anywhere in the UAE, and quite possibly anywhere in the Arab world is not recommended even slightly. See this.
